World War II Veteran Vincent J. Speranza, spent 144 days in combat with Company H, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, and, at 95, is one of the estimated 600 or so remaining vets who served at the Battle of the Bulge. A few months ago, he jumped with the Black Knights.
However, in the Bastogne area today, he is far better remembered for a beer run than for his staunchly-defended machine gun nest.
Check out the detailed backstory behind that, below.
